Thames & Hudson Alex Prager: Silver Lake Drive 阿麗克絲普拉格爾:銀湖大道 精裝版

'Prager does for photography what James Ellroy did for crime fiction, inventing a neo-noir L.A. vernacular that creates a feeling of the past without the limitations of historical accuracy' — The New Yorker

 

Alex Prager is a photographer and filmmaker whose elaborate sets and complex staging draw on a rich cultural heritage of cinematic style, informed by street photography, to produce unerringly memorable work.

 

Structured around her project-orientated approach, Silver Lake Drive presents the very best images from her career from the early Film Stills through her collaborations with the actor Bryce Dallas Howard on Week-end and Despair to the tour de force of Face in the Crowd shot on a Hollywood sound stage with over 150 performers and her 2015 commission for the Paris opera La Grande Sortie. 

 

This book is the first career retrospective of this rising star. 120 carefully curated photographs, it summarizes Prager's creative trajectory and offers an ideal introduction for the popular breakout audience who may have only recently encountered her work.  At once temporal and timeless, bright but shadowed, Prager’s images exist within a hyperreal world, deeply rooted in the eerie undertones of Los Angeles, where the line between reality and fiction is blurred.
